You may know but the skipper who captured her was almost court marshaled. The thought was that he should have took the enigma machine and scuttled her. Keeping the boat was considered a security risk and fear was that the Germans would know we procured an Enigma.

"We were transported to Louisiana and sent to a special prisoner-of-war camp for anti-Nazis. You see, that particular camp wasn't covered by the Geneva Convention. The Americans didn't want the Red Cross to interview us and let our navy know that a U-boat had been captured. We worked there in Louisiana on farms and in logging camps until 1945, when we were transferred to Great Britain. We were confined there until December of 1947, when we were finally released."
